Do you need to get a remap or can the ECU cope with it ?

Thanks for the info. I was concerned of all the talk about the Contis being the best for the CUP. I fitted 2 conti Contact as replacements a couple of months ago abd they are slightly different to ther ones that came with the car. Originals have 4 radial rings and the replacements with all...

What about a Cup in Mondial Blue ?

I can get these for the same price as the contis. Are they better:- in the wet ? in the dry ? cornering at speed ?

mine only clunks now if I give the pedal more than a light press. Before it would clunck as soon as I felt the slightest of resistance and released it quickly.

Ask them to inspect the valve against the correct part. If it is the wrong one fitted, like mine, they will find it has a link missing. I think some of the Cups have 172 ones fitted in error.

I had fun convincing them it was wrong, so have fun if they nothing about it yet !

My insurance Co said no premium for a replacement panel filter but £45 for induction kit / open Air filter. I fiited the Green filter (replacement panel) and felt a slight improvement in mid / top end revs and a small increase in induction noise. As for drop off of 2 BHP that was for an Open...

Someone on her does know as the specified the actual chip part number a few months ago. Maybe worth a search on all the ECU threads.

I got some about 6 months ago from Reno - cant remeber paint code (sorry) took about 1 week for it to come in. When you do get it, you best go to a model shop to buy a proper paint brush with a small tip. Unles you want to paint the whole wing mirror on one stroke of the brush. Same goes for...

They fixed it yesterday and it feels very different. You can now feel the weight transfer to the front wheels when braking. Feels much more secure now that the rear brakes are not braking 50/50 with the fronts.

Your right sir, its not the dash its the centre section of your exhaust. We will order it in for you and do it on a saturday morning and book you a loan car so you can pick it up later that day. What happend there ? (a very puzzled Cup owner)

Thanks for the feedback. I look forward to hearing about costs and performance figures.

How much did it cost ? What sort of gains did you get ? How do they do it (serial program, ECU or new chip) ?

Where did you get your TBs done ? What else did they have to do to get it to run right ? How much for the full job ? What is the increase in torque ? How long did it take ? was it worth it, in your opinion ? RR or 1/4 mile figures yet ?

I dont have an engine cover. I have a bonnet instead

NO IT DOES NOT !!!!!!!! Call them yourself:- 02085420042 or call Motorsport who developed it:- 02085407366 It is a group N ECU that will give about 5% torque and BHP gain that will only work on the CUP.

maybe when you start to rag it, the torque of the engine will rip your car limb from limb, then when all the component parts are loose it will rattle like the rest of them !

Cheers for all your help. It is going in on Saturday to have th Brake conpensator valve fitted and I will see if I can speak to the engineer direct about it then.

had the same with my car last week. They havent said they did anything as I didnt speak to the engineer. I was told he has a 172 of his own so knows about them. Mine was in for a few things:- Brake compensator valve (wrong one fitted) Lumpy tickover Clean engine breather (They...

Picked car up from reno last week and it now has a very annoying buzz from 3.9k to 4.1k (rpm) in every gear. Took the Service Manager out for a drive and he said it was the dashboard. I got the wife to have a listen and she says it is central and sounds like it is comming from under the stereo...

not only do the racing cups have a six speed sequential gearbox they are also alot lighter than the Cup. I think they weigh in at somewhere around 900 kgs or less.

less weight = faster - whip a few more bits off and you can keep up with a CUP.......LOL !

I run mine just on the Max mark (Do not overfill as it will block the engine breather and it will have an erratic tickover and a slight drop off in perfomance)

if you have problems with your willy, you best go see a doctor !

wait till you let it touch 4k rpm and it will shock you even more...........When you have the pleasure of letting it hit 5k rpm you better take a spare pair of pants with you and make sure you grip that steering wheel nice and tight as the car leaps all over the road, fighting for traction, as...

sounds like a FBW Throttle prob. Apparently they replace faulty ones with a Gold Contact replacement now.

I am

you dont have a steering wheel to grab on to !

I get a squeak from my suspension when coasting / slowing down over bumpy roads / town roads. Dont know what it is and has only done it since Reno looked at my suspension for an intermittent knock on full lock.
